It isn’t just because then you get a glimpse of the wonders of Christmas through a child’s eyes at that time, but be- cause there’s always the tiny re- mains of a child's love of toys | in all of us, no matter our age. | Se Shop Hooving was more than pleasant Saturday when | | made a trip through the big | wonderful toyland .t Western | Auto Associate Store. The entire | balcony has been turned into fairyland of makebelieve, and there’s so much there | couldn't begin to list everything. All | can say is that there are all the electric trains in the world there, 1 guess. Lionel, Marks, Ameri- | can Flyers, and all the acessor- | tes. There is fancy dolls’ furai- ture, all kinds of electrical gad- | gets, even perfect little phono- graphs that will play three speeds | of records and have perfect tone fidelity. Of course | was most interested In the doll department, Big ones | and little ones, some so lifelike | and real you'd think they were | breathing, and then | found one; @ perfect sweetheart of a little doll who had a real beating heart! Put your ear to it’s chest and you can hear it beating away like a real live heart. No wonder it’s called the “Heart- beat Doll!” The best part of ail these won. | ders is, that when you go to look, you can make your selec- tions and have all the toys you like put away til Christmas, A small payment will reserve them for you, end in two months you will have them all paid for, easily, and painiessly. eo #2 50 years ago in the Journal al 1 rom Philadelphia commented thet “It is exceedingly bad man- | ners for a girl to slap a man on the back, or lay a hand on him in any way, or for him to touch her except for a friendly hand- shake.” How did they ever get acquaint- | ed, for goodness sake? 2&2: & t's fun to write about fash- fons, especially lovely little girl fashions like | saw at ideal Togs Saturday. There was a cunning little checked tissue gingham dress hanging there with a wo- ven dot. it came in red, green er blue checks with a contrast- for Christmas. Then let me make a suggestion: Go on down to the | tittle workshop at the Southern- most Flowers and Gifts and you will see more ideas for hand- made gifts than you could shake a stick at, and Mrs, Key will show you how to make them. | Beautiful hand made bags, pillow- | ¢ ind table cloths, si baby booties and socks. find the materials to m with. In the Gift Department, a whole line of handmade Seramic Jewe- Iry by Emmi. All made in Key West, all little Key West designs. Charming little conversation little pieces and gifts. Also, don’t forget to look at the Ventian glass while you’! in the Southernmost Flowers and Gifts, It’s exceptionally rare and lovely. kk * This being the time of the year | when cookery starts to come up- permost in our minds, and Turkey and cranberries leads the list, let me quote a dessert made with cranberries that will bring any little old feast right into the gour- met class. Even the cranberry people don’t advise garnishing ice cream with straight cranberries unless you have used a lot of sugar. However you can’t slight a cran- berry. . .not for long anyhow. Here’s one for a brand new par- fait. Make a vanilla tapioca pud- ding, either with ready mix or your own recipe. Put in a bowl and jchill until thickened. Then, serve in big tall parfait glasses, a big spoonful of the pudding, and then one of a sweet cooked cranberry sauce all the way up the glass to the big glob of whipped cream on the fop. Be sure everything is cold, cold, COLD. tok ek Today being into November, and me with my Christmas Shop- ping almost complete. . .! feel just like telling everyone how wonderful it is not to have those last minute Christmas worries.

The executive board authorized Dr. Julio DePoo to consummate a contract with the qualified therapist who is will- ing to come to our city now.

A minimum of two tables and one electric ma- chine will be necessary to start. The board voted to ask various organizations to take as service ‘projects the furnishing of one piece of equipment. Operating expenses will amount to at least $600 a year. Liberal amounts of electricity and water will be needed for therapy treat- ments, while X-rays will amount to about $25 a month. No rent will be paid by the Association, since Dr. DePoo is making avail- able a part of the Galey Hos- pital for the clinic. Other very expensive items in the care of the crippled inciude special shoes, braces, crutches, casts, and wheel chairs. Many of these items ‘are quickly out- grown, and for the good of the crippled child, must be replaced as soon as outgrown. They can- not be passed on to others in most cases. These items will ac- count for a considerable part of the budget. Surgery, to correct cleft palate and club foot, is an- other expensive item, since many of these operations must be continued intermittently Mrs. Cox reported that there are now 25 known cases of cere- bral palsy and.an unspecified number of cripples, including arthritics and polio recovery jcases, who would be eligible. | These sufferers range in age from infancy to 20 years, plus some adults who would also benefit.

Contributions can be sent by check or money order to Box 369, Key West, and the treasurer, Mrs. Olga DePoo, can be reached at telephone 349. Workers in -the membership campaign as well as donations are needed. As a part of the clinic’s work, high school students will be of- fered clinic internships in physi- cal therapy at the clinic. The board hopes to be able to offer college scholarships to promising Key West students, with the understanding that the student would, on graduation in physical therapy, return to serve one year at the clinic. This would insure Key West a trained therapist of its own in the future. It is noteworthy, Mrs. Cox pointed out, that the Associa- tion has raised $3,730 and has spent only $155, for such essen- tials as postage, printing, and costs for various money-making entertainments. All money raised in Monroe County thus remains here to benefit the cripples of Monroe County.

Members Attend District Meeting Key Westers who attenCed the District 10 meeting of the Busi- ness and Professional Women’s Club at Hotel Sans Souci in Miami Beach October 26, came back with information and ad- vice on the 11 amendments to be voted on this Tuesday. Club members who attended from here were State President Wil- helmina Harvey, State Corres- ponding Secretary Grace Crosby, and Mrs. Joan Mardis. Mayor C. B. Harvey and Mr. C. S. Mardis accommanied them as guests. Theme of the meeting was le- gislation, and the program was in charge of Mrs, Anna Brenner Meyers, state legislative chair- man, Among the amendments strongly endorsed was Amend- ment 1, to assure school build- ings now for the overcrowded school children of the state. The ladies report that they were flattered by a statement of the Hon. George S, Okell, “The women of the Business and Pro- fessional Women’s Clubs and the League of Women Voters are the best informed women in the state of Florida. Senator Okell, Senator R. B. Gautier, and Representative Robert L. Floyd and Dante Fas- cell were all present, and were asked to give their answers to this question, “What do you think is the most important bill to be worked o: in the next Legislature?” The Hon. Mr. Gautier thought turnpikes and toll roads would be most important, while Sen- ator Okell thought revision of the laws of Florida would be the crucial issue. On the House side, Representative Floyd sug- gested a “skipper act” to bring back fathers‘ and husbands to support their families. Said Mr. Floyd, “Forty-one of the 48 states now have such a law, Why not Florida?” The Hon. Mr. Fas- cell presented a plan for capital improvements. As for the rest of the meet- ing, the delegates report that the Sans Souci was beautiful, with decoration: featuring croton sprays, brown and yellow mums, and bright orange pumpkin- shaped programs to which were "| tied keys to the City of Miami Beach.

Bailey, State Superin- tendent of Public Instruction, in an article titled, “Here’s How to Build the Schools Florida @eeds,” estimates an enrollment of 584,000 |children in Florida schools this year, Mr. Bailey states, “We in the Parent-Teachers Associations are already familiar with the over- crowded school situations to be found in every county ‘n the state. “We know first hand of the many: thousands of children who are being denied their rights to equal educational opportunities .be- cause of inadequate school facili- ties and double sessions. “I sincerely believe that Amend- ment 1 is perhaps the soundest Proposition of its kind ever offered the people of Florida for their consideration and approval. Pre- sented with the facts, only full approval can be forthcoming. “To present the facts, the need for additional school buildings and classrooms and the economic soundness of Amendment No. 1 is our task.” AUXILIARY FOR GALEY HOSPITAL IS FORMED An auxiliary group has been formed for Galey DePoo Hospital.
